I love the sense of museum politics, including Booth's less-than-beloved tasks. I work in the genealogy collection of the Arizona State Library. We have the capitol museum and the state archives also, and at times this seems familiar... but not nearly as fun. Nothing that old, though we did have a lurid murder in the early days of the capitol rotunda that people swear they can feel the emanations from.

I'm glad the politics ring true; I enjoyed writing that part possibly more than I should. Thanks!

It's fun to watch the intersection of bureaucracy and eccentricity. "This is my little empire!" will regularly collide with "That's someone else's problem!"
